The Nekopara Experience By Andrew Erickson Where did the first half of 2019 go? Why haven’t there been any reviews? What happened? Aside from trying to put a novel together by the end of the year, I suppose what’s kept me from plunging into the pile of atrocious games and assorted...

Andrew in Steamland: Yohjo Dissimulator Yohjo Simulator (not to be confused with Youjo Senki, an anime I reviewed earlier this year that should be above such comparisons, nor Yandere Simulator, which, although of similar quality, will never be released) is a game so bad, it was...

Andrew in Steamland: Hamming it Up Years ago, Max recommended a certain game to me, which I slotted into the “sometime this century” section of my backlog. It’s a horror-themed RPG Maker game that leads with a warning about the “scenes of violence and grotesque imagery” it...

Andrew in Steamland: What Went Wrong This was going to be a Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back review, but… it is, technically, it’s just that there were some hiccups along the way. Hiccups such as the game refusing to work under any circumstances. I know it must be a harsh shock to...

Andrew in Steamland: 26 Minutes of Shame with a Robot Boob Game I was really looking forward to Haydee‘s release in September, for which I was invited to a sit-down with the founder of Haydee Interactive. To my chagrin, I quickly learned two things about the game: it...
